<p>I just recently came to terms with the fact that my incredibly lacking turnout and imperfect body type leave my dream to be a professional ballerina impossible. However, I am too in love with dance itself-modern, contemporary–even jazz to give it up completely. I am fairly well trained in ballet and modern. I am nowhere near what most people consider “preprofessional” yet, but I am pretty strong en pointe and have 2 years of highschool left to prepare as well as summer intensives to attend. This being my situation, anyone with experience with this program, can you tell me if this will give me the tools I need to join a small dance company upon graduation or if I even have a chance at getting in? If anyone reads this and has any ideas on other colleges to look at I would greatly appreciate it.</p>
